Automation platforms streamline processes and offer flexibility, but AI integration and version upgrades pose challenges
In the technology world, there is always room for improvement. Technologies evolve day by day, especially with the emergence of artificial intelligence and generative AI models. Although IBM BPM is a substantial product, adopting and integrating new technologies quickly is not easy due to the migration and upgrade paths involved. Every time new versions are released, we face business and production challenges that make rapid adoption challenging. The main concern bothering me today regarding IBM BPM is the integration of AI components.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The biggest benefit of using the product is identifying the issues, enabling a more flexible working method."
"The integration aspects of IBM BPM are quite good, coordination across data silos is effective, and IBM BPM can be used for that purpose."
"Automation is the most valuable feature of IBM BPM."
"It is transparent to business users because it is mostly picture based modelling."
"IBM BPM is equipped with all the functionalities which are needed for building BPM enterprise-level applications."
"We use the solution to develop and deliver products."
"We use it for automating certain processes which previously took a lot of time for agents to set up different products for customers. They would have to enter a lot of different systems. This has now mostly been automated."
"IBM BPM is stable."
"One of the most notable things is how you can develop use cases with the customers, internal customers, but directly within. The software process model that BPM supports is really exciting in that aspect."
 

Cons

"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
"There are a few areas, like triggering mechanisms, externally exposed variables, and changing its values."
"Some of the features are not enough for my business. We need to build custom user management for the many end users affected by BPM."
"We have had to use Mule as an alternative integration tool because it is more flexible than IBM BPM."
"The solution has scalability issues; on a scale, I would rate it at eight out of ten."
"Integration with web services, especially in the standard version of the product."
"We need process monitoring. It is somewhat complex to monitor all the processes which work."
"I would like to see a lot more case studies."
"The integration could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I think it's a reasonably priced tool, but it's important to consider which customers should buy this solution. It's designed for enterprise customers, not small ones."
"It is pricey."
"​We have definitely seen ROI. When we first kicked it off, we said it had to pay for itself within three years, and it did."
"The price is good but could be a little lower."
"The product is expensive considering the hardware and software costs."
"IBM BPM cannot be considered a cheaply priced product. IBM BPM is a really expensive product compared to other companies. One needs to opt for the perpetual licensing model offered by IBM."
"The cloud and license of the subscription model for IBM BPM can be complex. There are a lot of alternatives to choose from."
"The solution might be expensive, but I can't give you a precise number. In the market here, I've seen two main products for BPM: IBM BPM and Camunda. Camunda is very popular and open-source, so there's no direct comparison."
